A MESSAGE FROM EKUNDAYO
ently found myself in a friendly debate with end over the merits of Motown versus Stax. e I was busy championing Hattiloo Theatre’s uction of A Motown Christmas, my friend firmly planted in the Stax camp. We even a playful exchange where I jokingly referred ur show as a “Staxtown Christmas” to owledge both legendary music labels.
Of course, I chose to produce this musical because it’s a guaranteed way to provide a festive gathering place for families and friends. But beyond the box office appeal, there’s a deeper, more personal connection to Motown for me. It’s not just the music, though that’s undeniably fantastic. It’s the story of a group of Black people coming together, fueled by talent and ambition, to create something truly extraordinary. It’s a story that resonates with me deeply, especially as someone who grew up in a household that celebrated Motown’s legacy.
When I founded Hattiloo Theatre in 2006, I drew inspiration from the spirit of the open mic scene. I remember those nights, packed with hopeful artists, eager to share their work with a supportive audience. We’d gather at the Jack Robinson Studio; a modest space just blocks away from the National Civil Rights Museum and create magic. No one was paid, but the rewards were immeasurable. We were building community, fostering creativity, and laying the groundwork for future generations of artists.
The Speakeasy, an open mic night I founded and hosted at the studio, was a cornerstone of this movement. It was a place where poets, musicians, and performers could experiment, grow, and connect with their audience. It was a microcosm of the Motown dream a group of talented individuals coming together to create something special.
As we approach the holiday season, we all need a little magic in our lives. A Motown Christmas is that sprinkle of magic, a reminder of the power of human creativity and the enduring impact of great music. It’s a chance to relive the golden age of Motown, to feel the joy and excitement of those early days, and to experience the transformative power of music
